The Cavs aren't punishing teams the way they did a year ago as they realized it cost them valuable energy come playoff time, so they have carried the lunch pail, grabbed the win and moved on instead of crushing everyone. The Nets, meanwhile, have found a little something and beat the Celtics on the road, but overall finding a little team chemistry. The Nets are now 8-3 ATS taking nine points or more and the Cavs have been no-shows vs home teams with a winning percentage of less than .400 where they are just 2-7 ATS. The Cavs haven't beaten this team by more than ten in three tries this year and are just 8-22 ATS in their last 30 vs the Nets. I'll go with New Jersey here.
